By Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada: As the number of people dying from illicit drug overdoses in B.C continues to climb to grim heights, the Province's Coroner is calling for an urgent & immediate response from all levels of the government to expand safe supply.
B.C also saw a single month record high of 201 illicit drug overdoses fatalities in October. Deaths were recorded in all age groups and in every local health area in the Province.
Fentanyl continues as the main factor in overdoses deaths but increasing levels of stimulants and benzodiazepine are being detected in the illicit drug supply.
